Cleveland Cavs: 2009/10 Review
The Cavs began the 2009-2010 season with possibly the highest expectations in team history. After setting dozens of team records last year, they fell short against the Orlando Magic in the Eastern Conference Finals.
In the offseason, the team acquired C Shaquille O’Neal, SG Anthony Parker, SF Jamario Moon and PF Antawn Jamison — a great increase in talent .
There were ups and downs throughout the season, but they were consistently the best team in the NBA. They finished with the best record in the league for the second year in a row.
The Cavs beat the Chicago Bulls in five games (best of seven) and moved on to face the aging Boston Celtics.
It suffices to say the Cavs fell flat on their face and lost to Boston in six games. They had no answer for PG Rajon Rondo, and the whole Cavs team seemed to be discombobulated. The effort cost head coach Mike Brown his job.
SF LeBron James is going to be a free agent this summer, and nobody knows where he will sign. It’s been the talk of the town/country all year. Many think he will leave Cleveland for a larger market.
No matter what happens, this season ended way before most fans thought it would. The result was the same as always — watching another team hoist the championship trophy.
Plus, the Indians suck and Browns aren’t looking much better. Things could get very bleak in this town.
